Cellulite

Cellulite is a condition that can affect both men and women, however it is more common in women post-puberty. The thighs, abdomen and buttocks is the most common area affected. Cellulite is caused from fat, water and toxins trapped under the skin, which hardens over time. This causes a dimpled effect ‘- affectionately referred to as ‘orange peel skin’. Hormones are a factor contributing to the cellulite effect. Men that have higher levels of oestrogens or who are on medication for prostate cancer can suffer from cellulite. Ensuring that your diet is balanced and reduce refined carbohydrates can help to reduce cellulite. A detoxification program is recommended to help clear toxins that are stored in the fat cells. Specific nutrients can be used to help clear the toxins, promote fat loss, and improve circulation.
